If We Were In a Better Conference

Even the hole known as URI is #22, and please don't tell me they are getting the best recruits down in Kingston or in the A10. Witchita and Cincy in the top 20 tends to negate the inferior conference theory. The only thing inferior is our crappy coach.

5 of their top 6 scorers are seniors. Experience matters. See where they are next year.
 
This is one of those unanswerable questions. You can easily imagine that there would be some better players if UConn were in the ACC or BE. Then again, Mighty Georgetown has become a cupcake in the BE, so there is the possibility that UConn would be struggling mightily over there, especially if Ollie is actually the biggest problem.
 
We are not just losing OOC, but to a bunch of mediocre AAC teams. Can't blame that on conference affiliation.

Laugh all you want, but RPI is not the greatest measure. How about projected tourney teams? That's a little better. According to BracketMatrix (a conglomeration of all bracket predictions):

1. Big East 7/10 (70%)
1. Big 12 7/10 (70%)
3. ACC 9/14 (64%)
4. SEC 7/14 (50%)
5. AAC 4/12 (33%)
6. Pac-12 3/12 (25%)
7. B1G 3/14 (21%)
8. WCC 2/10 (20%)
9-32 One bid leagues

So on a percentage basis, the AAC is better than the Pac-12 and the B1G. Now it may not eventually play out this way, but this is the consensus right now.
